Form & Verdict
Swooped late to win over 1m6f at Wolverhampton (AW) last September but she wasn't at her best in final two runs last year; won over C&D in her youth but this trip is sharper than ideal these days and she has some work to do after nine months off.

Her wins come round infrequently now but she's well handicapped on her best form at about this trip for Alice Tregoning in 2024; versatile ground-wise and it's likely that she'll have a say.

No win since September 2022 but second under Alice Tregoning at Ffos Las (1m6f, soft) and Haydock (11.5f, good to soft) on two of her last five outings; tailed off on latest but that was her first race on heavy going; competitive if back on song.

Form & Verdict
Finished well from a long way back to open account at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in May but after another break she was a well-held third at Nottingham (1m2f) last month; still has potential after only eight starts but she needs to kick on again on this step back up to 1m4f.

No joy in her first 17 starts but she's won on fast and slow ground at this track in three of her last four runs, including a clearcut success over C&D last Monday; looks well treated under a penalty for that win and she's a major player again.

Won four times at Brighton in 2022; 0-13 last year and only fourth on her return to action on Saturday; conditions suit and she's capable at this level but she'll need to up her game if she's to gain her first AW win at the 22nd attempt.

Has done all his winning on turf but lost out only by a head in 1m2f Polytrack handicap at Chelmsford in November and his fourth over that C&D a few days later was also a decent effort; today's trip-and-surface combination will also suit; likely contender.

0-9 for Ralph Beckett and four defeats for this yard, albeit she ran her best race for a while when second at Lingfield (extended 1m3f, good to firm) 11 days ago; left the impression a stronger pace there would have suited and she's not out of this.
